USA 8-0 IND

USA have beaten the hosts 8-0, silencing the crowd here at the Kalinga Stadium in Bhubaneshwar. It will be difficult for Thomas Dennerby’s girls to make a comeback from this defeat, but they could view this as a learning exercise, as the gulf in quality between the two sides was massive.

The visitors started strongly right from the get-go and got their first goal in the ninth-minute as Melina Rebimbas volleyed past goalkeeper Anjali Munda. Charlotte Ruth Kohler increased USA’s lead in the 15th-minute, followed by Onyeka Paloma Gamero adding another in the 23rd-minute. It was followed by a complete trouncing as Remimbas (31′) scored once again, followed by goals from Gisele Thompson (39′), Ella Emiri (51′), Taylor Suarez (59′) and Mia Bhuta (62′).
